In the foreground a dapple grey and a dark brown horse tangle neck to neck, and a brown horse lies on its side beside a standing white horse. Beyond a stand of gnarled trees and a leaning pine, riders chase a running herd across the plain toward the left, and a round seal is stamped in the pale sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastiglione painted the full handscroll in 1728 for the Yongzheng emperor, after a commission from the imperial court begun in 1724. He combined Western realism with the conventions of early Qing painting, placing a high horizon and keeping the shadows on the horses soft. A preparatory sketch of about 1723-25 is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is one section of the scroll, which runs to about 7.8 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: handscroll, ink and colours on silk, Qing dynasty, 1728; National Palace Museum, Taipei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766) was an Italian painter, born in Milan, who joined the Jesuits as a lay brother in 1707 and reached Beijing in 1715. Known in China as Lang Shining, he served the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors, painting in a fusion of European and Chinese manners, and rose to official rank at court. His One Hundred Horses was painted in 1728 for the Yongzheng Emperor, and he designed the European-style palaces of the Old Summer Palace. His work is held by the Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
